I currently have a hard time documenting things since I am really focused on some specific topic / websurfing in general, I find using pinboard’s chrome shortcut to be convenient for bookmarking items. I wish dynalist had something similar to this. It would be very similar to the “capture inbox” but as a chrome extension using only dynalist API, with support for automatic root dynamic endpoints [e.g. endpoint changes if its #monMarch1st
vs #monMarch2nd
], with the ability to pick a sub-bulletpoint destination [e.g. @work
or @personal
]
Workflow wise, it would look like this. similar to pinboards bookmark shortcut
-
Shortcut - Press CTRL+D on that page
-
A new temporary page pops with that day’s dynamic endpoint. You can only see top level bulletpoints here, you would see the top 5 bulletpoints in that list no subbulletpoints shown
-
Optional - Create subbulletpoints on the same level only
-
Pick a subbulletpoint and append one singular bulletpoint.
-
Add Data - Can add bulletpoint data and its’ note data. It automatically creates a markdown bookmark to that page. You can optionally delete that by default, in the event you are just adding an idea you had related to your project with no URL in mind
-
Press enter - pressing enter brings you back to whatever page you were looking at. You push the bulletpoint data similar to “capture inbox”
it would work like this:
-
GET request (Grab first top level bulletpoint by json format “create date” in that doc). Possibly filter if it has a #tag to prevent it from accidentally triggering wrong bulletpoint.
-
POST request (Creating top level child bulletpoints), optional. PUT request if this bulletpoints name is to be updated entirely.
- Refresh changes if #2 was made. GET
-
POST request (creating a bulletpoint with its notes)
this would be helpful to me since then I would never have to open dynalist at all except at the beginning of the end, end of day, and anytime I need to reference notes I made throughout the day.
Optionally, it would also be nice to have that chrome extension (upon being clicked in toolbar) to view those days notes. This would only be done using GET requests. . Functionality would resemble this page notes chrome extension
Even better if you can have a way to correlate a bookmarked URL’s domain to that specific website through all notes you made, although this would cause too many requests being made
